The first day with my new Asus netbook

I own the netbook now for 2 days and as surely everyone knows by itself, there is first an intensive use during the first days. I had until now (for almost 4 years) a 15.6-inch laptop from Lenovo, however, is much too heavy for me, now that I rather need a smaller laptop through school and university, with which I am more flexible. I need the laptop for office work that can check e-mails and search on the Internet and we will see now and then to a YouTube video. That should a netbook in this price range (380 euros) to cope quite easily, so I opted for the Asus F200CA.

An initial summary of the pros and cons points that I noticed so far:

+ Design: Very nice (as I said the white version), touches his good and is well made (nothing is loose, unstable or creaks), also (important for me) nice and flat and easy. In my opinion, a real eye-catcher!
+ Power: To date, the netbook works very quickly, it depends nothing and even more browser tabs can be opened easily and work with it.
+ Display: The display brightness is in my opinion really sufficient, the netbook had until now not need adjusting of 100%, as I am got by with less (60-70% brightness). I work mostly indoors and of course you have to say sometimes: even 500 euros smartphones are no longer usable in direct sunlight.
+ Sound: The speakers on the Asus range of videos on the internet, who wants decent bass just needs a sound system. The volume is sufficient, they had so far only to 50-60%, which was enough for me.
+ Fan / heat generation: The netbook is very quiet until now, even with prolonged use one hears only a slight noise. Warm the netbook is just left the fan a bit. Very pleasant.
+ Ports: an HDMI port was very important to me, but I have not tested it, which will follow in the coming days. The USB ports are super, 2 right and 1 left. Have the right mouse on it and the rest is unoccupied, but works fine (had my hard drive already tuned to transmit the data). Overall, the netbook is well equipped, all I need.
+ WLAN: Have no problems with signal strength, all is well and connecting with my Fritz box went smoothly.
+ Keyboard: I think the keyboard super. It can be good and fast typing and the keys are very well made!

o Windows 8: the operating system can of course argue. For me personally, it has shown a bit of a challenge, but there are quite good introduction videos and after a few hours you find yourself already quite well. It will certainly take a few more days until I discovered all functions and can work with it a little faster, but I do not see this as a problem.
Have some apps uninstalled, because I do not need a lot of preinstalled stuff. That everything works flawlessly, creating a little space.
o Memory: For me personally, it is sufficient, as I have all the way to an external hard drive and let only documents I work on my laptop. However, I can imagine that 320 GB are not enough for some, as it effectively indeed has even less choice, thanks to pre-installed operating system, etc.

- Touchpad: The touchpad is indeed well made with me, but responds from time to time when painting only as semi-Mich however does not bother, because I always largely work with a connected mouse, so it is for me personally no reason from buying discouraged. and it also happens really rarely. One should give the touchpad on booting the netbooks still a bit of time, because the Smart Gesture little longer "boot" for needs than the rest, which is a minor complaint.

Conclusion so far: One should bear in mind that this is neither a laptop nor an Ultrabook (for you then also have to pay a lot more). Anyone - like me - are looking for a laptop that lets you use only a bit of surfing and office applications, is here I think very well advised. Give it a try for sure!
The netbook is visually a looker and the performance to be proud of. So far, the total package.
I will continue to test the netbook and report if I notice more Pro or counterpoint.
